Kinga Lampert is the gorgeous wife of Sears CEO, Eddie Lampert.

Kinga’s husband was born Edward Scott Lampert on July 19, 1962; the New York native who is widely known as Eddie, is said to be stepping down from his role as CEO following the Sears bankruptcy announcement.

Edward Lampert received his bachelor’s in economics from Yale University. After graduating, he worked alongside fellow billionaire Daniel Och in the risk arbitrage department at Goldman Sachs before founding ESL Investments, a hedge fund, in 1988. Lampert also took over as CEO of Sears in 2013.

Lampert earned himself and his investors billions by buying up large blocks of undervalued companies, often retailers. His multiyear investments in Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:SHLD) and AutoNation (NYSE:AN) have formed the backbone of his portfolio for almost a decade.

Reports about his situation deteriorating due to underperformance of Sears Holdings have been circulating for a few years. However, he remained one of the most successful investors.

Eddie has been married to lovely wife, Kinga for years now.
